Chapter 1645 Heavyweight vs. Heavyweight!
This world.
Neptune domain.
On the orbit of Venus in the solar system.
The black whale gazed at the colossal structure that floated quietly in the distance, then its gaze shifted slightly to the graceful silhouette of Matilda, the Octopus Lady.
His complex gaze suddenly filled with malice and hatred!
It lasted for a short while, then quickly returned to its original state.
Matilda sensed something, and her crescent-shaped pupils contracted slightly.
However, they did not react to this hint of malice.
Pretending nothing had happened, they continued flying at their original speed towards the Star-Picking Tower.
Before long, the two arrived at the temporary defense line set up on Earth, one after the other.
Because Pan Xiaoxiao had notified them in advance...
Upon entering the defensive line, only a few spiritual tentacles briefly probed Matilda and the Black Whale to confirm their identities.
They then immediately dispersed on their own, without showing any sign of embarrassment.
Black Whale assumed Matilda would stay around the defensive line as Pan Xiaoxiao had instructed, so he spoke up directly, trying to strike up a conversation:
"I think this Star-Picking Tower is quite honest. It probably just wants to be closer to Earth to make it easier to do business, right?"
"Otherwise, how could they have just stood by and watched Earth deploy defenses around the Star-Picking Tower without doing anything?"
Matilda didn't reply immediately, but just glanced at the black whale.
With a casual gesture, the data panel appears as if the fingertips are sending a message to someone.
Seeing this, the black whale could only wait quietly.
After a few minutes, Matilda closed the data panel and looked back at the Star-Picking Tower. Only then did the Black Whale speak again:
"I don't think we'll be involved for the time being, so let's find a place to rest by the defensive line."
"We are both chosen ones, and if we encounter any unexpected situations, we will have plenty of time to deal with them."
however,
Matilda still didn't respond.
He simply gazed calmly at the colossal structure in the distance.
His expression was indifferent, as if the black whale beside him didn't exist at all.
Having suffered repeated instances of passive-aggressive treatment, Black Whale could no longer maintain its outward politeness and its tone turned cold as it said:
"Matilda, are you even listening to me?"
"I am here to assist you as your partner, not as your servant or slave!"
"Please give me the most basic respect!"
After saying all three sentences, I still didn't get any response.
Matilda, the Octopus Lady, seemed to be deep in thought about something important, and for a moment she was so engrossed that she seemed completely oblivious to the sound of the black whale.
Black Whale dared not touch Matilda rashly, for fear that she would react and beat him up.
The only way to attract attention is to keep sending voice messages to the other party.
As time went by, the black whale increasingly felt like a buzzing fly.
The feeling of insult gradually intensified.
Just as the black whale was about to go berserk, Matilda finally reacted.
He looked up, glanced casually at the person in front of him, and said in a flat tone:
"I didn't realize you were such an impatient person."
"Now that we're all here, let's get things done."
"If the Star-Picking Tower doesn't come to us, then we'll take the initiative to contact them."
"What do you mean?" Black Whale was stunned, a bad feeling rising in his heart.
“Literally.” With that, Matilda moved again, crossing the defensive line and slowly approaching the Star-Picking Tower.
"Go over and have a look."
"But Manager Pan didn't mean that, so we shouldn't make decisions on our own, right?" Black Whale tried to stop him by transmitting his voice.
But Matilda's departure did not slow down; on the contrary, it accelerated.
Whether Manager Pan had this intention or not is not important; what is important is that I had this intention.
This time, Matilda didn't ignore the black whale. Instead, she slowly transmitted her voice, deliberately using words to pierce its heart:
"If you are afraid, you can stay with the guards inside the defensive line and wait for me to come back."
Black Whale's face twitched, a hint of resentment creeping into his fake smile.
"I am a chosen one of Gods, how could I be afraid of a mere Star-Picking Tower?"
"I'm just worried that acting rashly will disrupt Manager Pan's plans..."
"Don't worry, I'll take responsibility if anything happens. It won't be your fault." Matilda sent back her last words, her figure already shrinking to the size of a thumb tip.
Seeing that he was truly determined to go to the Star-Picking Tower, the black whale hesitated for a moment, but had no choice but to follow him.
There is no other reason,
Because in the eyes of the black whale, Matilda was his 'livestock'.
To ensure that we can obtain fair authority in the future, we must keep a close eye on the other party now.
The two of them, one after the other, quickly approached the Star-Picking Tower and landed on the platform.
As soon as they landed, a dazzling teleportation light appeared on the other side of the platform.
Two figures, each with a significant height difference and wearing a ferocious mask, came into view.
As if they had been waiting for a long time, they slowly approached.
Black Whale recognized the two people at a glance.
They were Qiongqi and Taotie, two of the three chief stewards of the Star-Picking Tower!
Logically speaking, it would be perfectly normal for two managers to greet you.
After all, the visitors were not just ordinary cats and dogs, but the chosen ones with outstanding strength in this universe!
Heavyweight vs. Heavyweight
It's perfectly reasonable for Zhaixinglou to send two managers to receive them.
But after the two appeared, Black Whale's expression became increasingly solemn.
The surprise and apprehension in his eyes were palpable.
His gaze darted between the two leaders, Taotie and Qiongqi, before finally settling on the short figure on his left.
"The aura of a chosen one? This Taotie has actually become a chosen one?!"
Black Whale suddenly felt that the situation, which had been a sure thing, had become somewhat tricky.
Matilda, standing to the side, clearly sensed the aura emanating from Taotie, and a look of surprise appeared on her sculpted face.
Before the two could speak, Taotie greeted them on its own:
"I know why you two have come, but this is not the place to talk."
"Would you two please move to the VIP room with me so we can sit down and have a proper chat?"
Matilda tilted her head, and the tentacles beneath her skirt wriggled, propelling her forward:
"Please prepare my usual tea and snacks."
"Of course," Taotie replied readily, his attitude as respectful as if it were just an ordinary business transaction.
The black whale wanted to say something more.
But considering Matilda's previous attitude
Furthermore, since the other party had already gone far away, he could only swallow his words and silently follow.
However, as he passed by the two managers of the Star-Picking Tower, he was stopped by Taotie and asked a question, which made him slightly embarrassed.
What kind of tea and snacks would this guest like?
"Oh, just be like her." Black Whale replied casually, reaching out to point at Matilda.
However, the attempt failed as the teleportation array flashed.
That graceful figure had long since vanished without a trace of lingering affection.
He was as carefree as Guan Yu, who went to the meeting alone with a single sword.
